Case size 20 X 38mm
Strap size 16mm
Ref 1170
A fine and elegant 1935 Omega Art Deco wristwatch, presented in a beautifully proportioned solid 9ct gold rectangular case. Measuring 20 × 38mm, the case displays the distinctive geometric styling and refined proportions characteristic of the Art Deco period.
The solid gold case was manufactured by the renowned British case makers Dennison and is fully hallmarked for Birmingham 1935. Both the case and movement are individually numbered, providing an important record of the watch's period manufacture.
Of particular interest is the personal inscription engraved on the case back, "Mum, Dad 1937", suggesting the watch was originally presented as a gift in 1937. This charming detail adds a sense of history and individuality, offering a glimpse into the personal story behind this attractive pre-war timepiece.
Housed within is the celebrated Omega Calibre T17, a 15-jewel manual-winding rectangular movement introduced in 1934. Signed Omega and individually numbered, this beautifully engineered movement was specifically developed for the fashionable rectangular wristwatches of the 1930s.
The T17 is widely admired for its robust construction, elegant bridge layout and dependable mechanical design. It remains one of Omega's most recognisable early shaped movements and is particularly appreciated by collectors of vintage Swiss wristwatches.
The watch is fitted with a leather strap measuring 16mm between the lugs, complementing the slim rectangular gold case and maintaining the understated elegance associated with classic 1930s dress watches.
At Ascot Antique Clocks, we take great care in the selection and preparation of our vintage timepieces. This watch has been professionally cleaned, inspected and serviced by an experienced watchmaker to ensure reliable performance while preserving its original character and historical integrity.
For added peace of mind, it is supplied with a 12-month mechanical warranty covering the movement under normal use, together with a presentation box.
Please note: As with many vintage wristwatches of this period, this watch is not waterproof.
With its elegant Art Deco proportions, solid gold construction and fascinating personal history, this 1935 Omega represents a fine example of the quality and timeless design for which Omega has long been renowned. A particularly appealing pre-war wristwatch, combining British case-making craftsmanship with the precision of Swiss watchmaking.
